95! What a run for a jazz musician! Many of the classic one died early from drugs (heroin) and alcohol. I salute Sonny on toughing it out.

His career started in 1949. Retired in 2012 due to lung problems.

“musician”

A lot of musicians died young - Bizet, Donizetti, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix come to mind.
